Robert Klein April 1, 2006

A career in entertainment was not a ?legitimate? pursuit for a middle class kid born in the Bronx, even though his father, Ben, was a good livingroom comedian, and his mother, Frieda, was a show business fan. So, Robert Klein graduated from Dewitt Clinton High School and entered Alfred University as a pre-med student.
To say that Klein?s show business career has been varied would be an understatement. He has been a regular guest on ?The Tonight Show? for over twenty years, and has guest-hosted the show on numerous occasions. He also appears regularly on ?Late Show with David Letterman? and ?Late Night with Conan O?Brien.? Klein also hosted ?Saturday Night Live? twice, and starred in the first ?Cheeseburger? sketch with John Belushi and Dan Akroyd.
When Robert isn?t making a movie, filming a one-man concert, performing on Broadway, at the White House, or hosting a television show, he relaxes by regularly traveling the country appearing at hundreds of colleges, universities, and theatres, or in Atlantic City performing his brilliant comedy for sold-out houses.
